Regine Velasquez on breadwinners: “Pag nakatulong na kayo, tapos na”

Singer actress Regine Velasquez-Alcasid shared her thoughts on the topic of breadwinners. During her guesting on “It’s Showtime,” Regine admitted that she also became a breadwinner for her family once.

“Oo, for a long time, bata pa lang… mga 11 years old. Mahirap lang kasi ang family ko kaya kailangan ng konting tulong. And since I have this voice, ginamit ko to help my family.” said Regine.

But Regine added that being a breadwinner is not forever and should not be a responsibility for children.

“Pag nakatulong na kayo, tapos na. Iisipin niyo ‘yung sarili niyo na. Sa mga breadwinner, gusto kong sabihin sa inyo na natatapos dapat ‘yon. Hindi ‘yon forever.‘Pag nakatulong na kayo, tapos na. Iisipin n’yo yong sarili nyo na.” Regine said.

“Natatapos siya. Hindi pwedeng hindi. You have to give yourself time to also grow na as a normal human being. Hindi pwedeng ikaw lahat ang may responsibility,” added Regine.

“Never naging responsibility ng anak maging breadwinner. Because it’s the parents’ responsibility [na] buhayin ‘yong anak mo,” said Regine.
